Before this repository appeared on Github, I had converted the original Bitbucket mercurial repository to a git repository to track my changes internally (https://github.com/tstenner/sift).
At some point or an other, some binaries that were later deleted have been committed accidentally, but they were still in the history taking up ~140MB, so I removed them with the BFG repo cleaner, basically checking out each commit, removing the binaries and rebasing the following history onto these commits. The repository contents (minus those binaries) are identical, but the commit hashes differ, so I can't push any PRs to this repository without creating patch files from my repository, applying them to a separate clone of this repository and then pushing them.

Therefore, I think it'd be a good idea to force push the contents of my repository to this one (including the 3 latest commits from the bitbucket repository).

I only have a shallow clone locally, but I'll hopefully get around to it in a few days. Meanwhile, I'll push PRs for Tim's latest commits and some of my own changes.
